Osomatsu-Kun, better known as Osomatsu-Kun 1966 in modern releases (mainly to not confuse Robloxians with the 1988 version of the anime) is a 1966 Neo-Japanese anime series by Studio Zero (a precursor of the modern SNK Animation company), it was based off a manga of the same name and the first adaptation of Osomatsu-Kun.

Fun Facts
- This is the first Osomatsu-Kun adaptation as it was made 22 years before the 1988 adaptation by Studio Ro-Pierrot.
- It was considered lost media for 48 years until it was released on DVD in 2015 to celebrate Fujio Akatsuka’s 80th Anniversary
- A dub for it was made in 1973 for Children's Avast Television; it was popular enough that in 2016, this dub was re-aired for the last time.
- The current copyright holder for this series (in Neo-Japan) is Studio Ro-Pierrot.
- This series has two remakes, the 1988 series, and the current series known as “Osomatsu-san”, which first aired in 2015.
- It aired for three years between 1966 and 1969.
- The series has a similar art-style as Doraemon. This usually led to Robloxians to think that it was made by Fujiko Fujio, when actually, it was made by a completely different author.
- Speaking of Doraemon, it is said that Fujiko Fujio was inspired by this series (the manga in particular) to create Nobita’s design. It is unknown if it is true.
- In both this version and the 1988 version, you can't really tell which Matsuno brother is who, probably because the animators (in the 1966 version ONLY) basically copy-and-pasted (before that was even invented) Osomatsu's design 5 times in the ending theme.
